Dr Eoin Lenihan is an independent journalist and researcher. Born in the west of Ireland, he grew up in the Celtic Tiger era which shaped his views on politics, culture, and national identity. As a field archaeologist he witnessed first-hand the vandalisation of Ireland’s archaeological landscapes to make way for economic ‘progress’ and foresaw that Irish identity was in existential danger. Lenihan holds degrees in History and Archaeology from the National University of Ireland, Galway, and a doctorate in Pedagogy from the University of Augsburg. Focusing primarily on politics today, he has written for a wide range of international news outlets including The Federalist, The European Conservative, Gript, Daily Caller, Quillette, Post Millennial, and has featured on Al-Jazeera and Fox News among others. His peer-reviewed study of Antifa uncovered damning evidence of how Antifa in the US infiltrated the national media and remains the largest empirical study of the group to date.
